Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. has inked a strategic partnership with Solimar Systems, a leading developer of Customer Communication Management and Delivery solutions. By blending the flexibility of Solimar’s ‘Chemistry’ and the expertise of Konica Minolta Professional Services, clients will benefit from centralized integration and management of production processes within a unified dashboard. “This advanced workflow automation and control system will deliver significant operational efficiencies and greater productivity for POD, direct mail and transactional printing environments,” said the companies.
‘Chemistry’ unites silos of technology under a universal dashboard delivering visibility, accessibility and mobility of entire operations. It harnesses principles of lean manufacturing to minimize waste, eliminate unnecessary touch points, reduce cross-training requirements and improve capacity and profitability. Service Level Agreement (SLA) management effectively aligns all tasks with regulatory and contractual requirements.

“This strategic partnership will enable Konica Minolta and Solimar to more aggressively pursue opportunities in small and mid-size businesses with production printers who need much broader workflow capabilities,” said Mary Ann Rowan, CMO and Vice President of Solimar. “Our mutual focus is to increase our clients’ productivity while decreasing their operational costs,” she added.
